Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of cold snare polypectomy (CSP) versus hot snare polypectomy (HSP) in the treatment of colorectal polyps with a diameter of 10-15 mm. Methods A total of 138 patients who underwent colonoscopy and planned to undergo polypectomy (at least one colorectal polyp with a maximum diameter of 10-15 mm) in Department of Gastroenterology, Laoshan Branch of The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, from June 2022 to February 2023 were randomly divided into CSP group with 76 patients and HSP group with 62 patients. The two groups were compared in terms of the efficacy of polypectomy (complete resection rate and en bloc resection rate) and safety indicators (proportion of patients with intraoperative bleeding, delayed bleeding, intraoperative perforation, delayed perforation, and postoperative reactive serocolitis). Results The HSP had a complete resection rate of 98.4% and an en bloc resection rate of 96.8%, while the CSP group had a complete resection rate of 97.3% an
